Vigilantism is what you get when you don't let the police do their jobs.

 Remember, Leftist:  The police don't exist to protect us from you,  They exist to protect you from us.

Regardless of the shot’s righteousness, this is another example of what happens when citizens feel they’re on their own. In Houston and El Paso, crime in Texas has run rampant, and the authorities are doing nothing to protect law-abiding citizens. So, again, citizens will protect themselves.

There’s no way this can end well. If the government doesn’t step up soon, we’ll start having the type of self-help we periodically see coming out of Africa or Latin America, where mobs beat suspected criminals to death or set them on fire. That’s a return to a pre-modern time that was bad enough the first time around.

Likewise, if crime continues to spiral with citizens left on their own, you can bet your bottom dollar that someone with totalitarian instincts will step in to “restore order.” At that point, you find yourself in the world Tacitus described: “They ravage, they slaughter, they seize by false pretenses, and all of this they hail as the construction of empire. And when in their wake nothing remains but a desert, they call that peace.”

The only time I don't go out armed these days is when I have to go on a Federal installation.  My retirement is beckoning and I'm not going to ruin that by getting busted with a gun on a military base.  Although my thoughts on that run to "Why the fuck do you trust me with a gun and then don't trust me with a gun?"  It makes no sense, but given the Marxist shitstains we have in senior "leadership" positions these days they're probably worried that someone in uniform is going to give them the ending they so deserve.

And speaking of Marxist shitstains, here's Antifa calling for more violence against cops after one of their little turds finally became a good commie.

Antifa staged violent protests (do they do any other kind?) to block the construction of a police facility in Atlanta. When cops attempted to clear them out, they opened fire, seriously wounding a cop. The cops returned fire and killed an antifa thug.

Now antifa is calling for "reciprocal violence."

All of these people will be out on bail faster than any January 6th grandmother arrested for "parading."

I'm willing to bet there's a lot of good 'ol boys down there loading magazines and giggling.  But as usual, the Democrat party isn't going to lift a finger against their street-level shock troops.  Of course not.  Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization in service to the Democrats, and so there's not one thing the government is going to do to corral them.

Until the fuck around with the wrong people and find out.  Which might happen in Georgia if the commie shitstains really push their luck.  Personally, I would make sure there's video of a backhoe digging one big mass grave, just to push the message home.

As Jeff Cooper said, "It is high time for society to stop worrying about the criminal, and to let the criminal start worrying about society."

The Policing Powers are, like every other form of power exercised by the government, derived from the consent of the governed, and if the government refuses to exercise them (either through failure to enforce or refusal to prosecute), they do not just disappear. They revert to We The People, and when people start enforcing the laws and defending themselves, criminals won't have all of the leeway built into the current non-system.

"Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law"? If guilt is clear and unambiguous (the guy is in your living room with a weapon and burglary tools), there is no need for a trial, and punishment tends to be immediate, final, not subject to prosecutorial discretion and without appeal to higher courts. The only "rehabilitation to improve society" the criminal will get is the lesson his head being mounted on a pike will send to others.

And when it comes to elections, I point you to the lessons learned in Athens, Tennessee, in 1946. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Athens_%281946%29
